While the world has been turned upside down in 2020 due to the pandemic, Mahomes and Matthews have arguably had the best year of their lives. In February, Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in fifty years. He also earned the MVP trophy for his performance in the game.
His relationship with Matthews made headlines after cameras caught his high school sweetheart jumping into his arms after the big win. Then in July, Mahomes became the first professional athlete in any sport to sign a half-billion-dollar contract.
According to The Today Show, Mahomes signed a 10-year, half-billion dollar contract extension. The agreement is worth $503 million, with $477 million in guarantee mechanisms and a no-trade clause.
Then in September, Mahomes popped the question to his longtime love at Arrowhead Stadium after receiving his Super Bowl ring. Matthews shared the engagement news on Instagram. She posted pictures of the romantic display Mahomes set up in one of the stadium’s suites.
